even though there was a prime minister too early election where the leadership of the country changed hands. so we're living in a world where it's easy to blur the lines. but i think it's important to recognize that what they did in bosnia was of lasting and enduring benefit. and the cooperative mechanism that was established to share information and to do it in a responsive, straightforward way is a good role model that ought to be followed in the future. it's not one of those lessons, to quote one of the things in the book, that ought to have to be relearned. i like former secretary of state jim baker very much, but when he said in response to the trouble in bosnia we don't have a dog in that fight, i think he was wrong. we did have a dog in the bosnian fight, and we still do. what was the end of the cold war going to mean? the rise of chaos? or the rise of democracy, prosperity and cooperation? if you want it to be the latter instead of the former, no matter how thorny bosnia had become, no matter how much blood had been shed, no matter how much determination there was for destruct

that's one of the key elements of the majority's winning elections and majority in the senate. and for us to wait since, i believe, june when we passed the bill out of the armed services committee until just shortly, a short time ago and then only allowing a few days is really a grave disservice not so much to the members of the senate, but it's a grave disservice and a lack of prioritization of the importance of this legislation. and i'm deeply disappointed that the majority leader of the senate, because of his manipulation of the calendar has put us in this position. having said that, i spend time, as i know the senator from oklahoma and the senator from michigan, our distinguished chairman have, in the company of men and women who serve. one of our obligations as members of the armed services committee is to spend time with the military. i know that the senator from oklahoma does and the senator from -- the chairman does as well. and, you know, their morale isn't good. they've seen sequestration take place, across-the-board cuts that have been done with a meat-ax and not a s

the insurance carrier can require that percentage of the employees to elect the coverage. alternatively, many carriers require the employer to pay a significant percentage of the premium for employee only, sometimes 100% of the cost. so the concept the employer is only going to pay for the coverage based on the 9.5% rule is not the case. not for small employers and not for large employers. the employers are paying significantly more, especially because of the fact that they cannot know household income. the discrimination rules, which have yet to be issued, are a continuing concern. just for information, the senior council for the treasury department indicated to me that they cannot enforce those rules. that's what we've experienced in actual practice. even when there is an audit, they ask to see the testing, check it off their list and they're done with the issue. they can't enforce the current rules for self-funding plans. it will be extremely difficult for them to do so for small insurance plans, and very difficult for the employers to be able to coordinate a non-discri
